Which one of the handbook pages are you looking at? Well, anyway. This is what I did (Mind you, my way might have been the wrong way. This is my first time upgrading a FreeBSD installation, too).
# cp /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile /root/ - Edit the /root/stable-supfile file to use a mirror near you. # cvsup /root/stable-supfile # cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/ # cp GENERIC MYKERNEL - Edit MYKERNEL to reflect your needs (You could remove some of the device drivers you dont need) # cd /usr/src # make buildworld # make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL # make installkernel # reboot Now, boot into single-user mode and # mergemaster -p # make installworld # mergemaster # reboot For more details, read http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html On 5/9/06, John Cruz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
So I want to upgrade to 6.1, but I've never used cvsup before and all the documentation is confusing as can be. Would it be easier to download the install mediums and do an upgrade install or is cvsup the better way? if so how do I go about it? the hanbook page on this is somewhat confusing, which is why i'm resorting to posts.
